Well, if that’s all I can get, I’ll work with it. Anybody got some ideas?

Just a simple bend through the handle bow with no recurves, but maybe heated in reflex. If one would really like to get more out of small sapling he could do a hollow-limb design bow!

It IS all I can get!  High crown wood makes great ELB, bend-through the handle D-bows and hollow-limb bows

the high crown will pretty much dictate the bow style and taper
